Dadsnet - boom moment

Enjoy the little baby phase too. Blobby jr is starting to assert his independence. Any outside interference and he really kicks off. Nappy changes are a major trauma! Can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it all

I struggle with long sentences after OP
Nice words brought it all back for me as to what it was to stare at them for the first time in sheer wonderment and full of love [ duusty in here this morning just thinking about it]
A feeling you can never describe to anyone cherish it as the hard work grinds you down

Congrats! Our wee fella is 15 months now, it seems like only yesterday that he was a helpless pink blob... (he's now a monster who is eating us out of house and home and has just discovered how to answer back!) Enjoy every minute, you won't believe how fast the next few days/weeks/months are going to disappear!

The best, and most accurate, description of having kids I've ever heard is simply 'Relentless'!

Conversely, I was quite taken aback by how "unemotional" I felt when I first saw Wee Ox. In fact, all I could think was "bloody hell, he looks like his uncle". Took about 6 hours for all the "flatness" to pass before I got the waves of love, but boy is it there now. I think the best description is paraphrased as follows: "Having a child is like having your own heart walking about outside your body".

Many other 'booms' will follow. My favorite was in Morrisons of all places about a week after TRHjnr was plunged.
Picture the scene....it's 8 something PM...it's a week day....there's **** all customers apart from me....I have a half filled trolley and a shopping list that consists of wipes, nappies, cotton wool etc....I'm very tired....I'm barely conscious....THEN SUDDENLY, in the middle of the cereal aisle I stop like a bunny in the headlights and say aloud with much trepidation...

Woke up to a lovely sunrise and though "H}%}*{+]*}^}^" I have a daughter ! Out of bed whistling desperate to get back and give mnzc a cuddle and watch the blob hopefully sleeping. We will name her today, my wife saw through me saying Jessica was just a nice name and nothing at all to with my infatuation for Jess ennises bottom !

Thanks for all the best wishes, I've inhabited this place for a long time so nice to share some happy news.
